I’ve spent my life in agriculture, as did my father and grandfather before me, and very simply: I love being involved in the production of our basic daily need - FOOD.

Having grown up on the land I know that farming has many challenges and some practices are not sustainable. However, I believe that within the organic industry it is possible to build a business that not only supplies something we all need, it does so while taking care of farms and farmers. And the health of those who consume it.

At Kialla we believe organic food is good for you, good for farmers and good for our planet.

In the modern world it’s easy to loose touch with real food and where it comes from. This is why we are very open about sharing the whole supply chain story with you. And it’s the reason we created the Plate2Farm Tracker. You can also scan the QR code below to take a virtual tour of our mill.

Enjoy!

Quentin Kennedy Managing Director | Kialla Pure Foods

Introduction to Kialla Pure Foods

At Kialla we have been milling organic grains for 25 years, making us one of the original organic grain millers in Australia.

We only mill organic because we believe this produces a superior product and the testimonials from our clients and consumers confirm this.

Our Certified Organic status means we don’t use the myriad of toxic insecticides used by the conventional industry to control insects in stored grain. Instead we use CO2 gas, aeration systems and good plant hygiene – none of which leave any residue in the grain. At Kialla we don’t ‘over process’ our grains.

For example, we use traditional processes such as stone mills and do not remove any of the semolinas when processing our sifted flours.

Milling

We believe the secret to our organic flour is more about what is not in it, and what we don’t do to it!

There’s a lot of interest in paddock-to-plate cooking – but how much of an opportunity do you get to do that for yourself?

Building on the success of our Plate2Farm Tracker, launched in 2015, we decided to create a recipe book that let’s you learn about the story behind the grains. It’s interactive ‘paddock to plate’ because it’s not just about what a famous chef can do with what he finds on the farm – it’s about you and what you’re cooking with.

Our Plate2Farm tracker is the first consumer-to-farmer tracking system in Australia to use the audited traceability built into the organic certification system, and this guarantees authenticity. We’re committed to transparency in the food chain because it builds bridges between farmers and the people who buy the products.

Just as the Plate2Farm tracker shows you the real farmers, the Plate2Farm Recipe Book takes an egalitarian approach to recipe selection. Contributors cover the gamut from celebrity chefs to passionate home bakers, and the emphasis is on grains as the foundation for delicious and healthy real food. We have sourdough breads, pizza bases, the easiest of sponge cakes, and homemade classics like our grandmother’s Marina biscuits. There’s also the fresh flavours of Vietnam and the taste of India. And we haven’t forgotten vegan delights and wholegrain treats. Plus some pretty innovative ways with a bottle of pancake mix!

It’s a joy to bring you this selection of recipes from real people who use our product, and love the quality of their results. We’re truly grateful that they’re sharing their love of cooking with us and with you.

So here’s to the fruits of your own labours!

Why a Plate2Farm recipe book?

The Soil

Many of the grains we process are grown on the rich black alluvial soils of the Darling Downs and Northern NSW. They produce some of the best cereal grains in Australia. It’s a natural advantage combined with sound, efficient organic farming practices, resulting in a grain product that is as good as that grown anywhere in the world.

The Farmers

Our partners - the farmers, strive to produce quality products without the use of modern chemicals and pesticides - which in some cases can be difficult. They work with nature not against it, using traditional methods such as crop rotation, selective grazing of weeds and green manure cropping to ensure biodiversity and sustainability is maintained.

Plate2Farm Tracker

We believe in transparency and integrity throughout the food chain so we are ‘making known where it’s grown’ via our plate2farm tracker.

As well as meeting the farmers, you can also see how we process these grains by visiting our website to watch the virtual tour of the mill.

Method

Mike, Springsure, Qld

Mike grows a variety of crops for Kialla, including white sorghum, sunflower, hard and soft wheat. Cake flour is produced from soft wheat, which is generally Rosella wheat. This is a low protein wheat as cakes require different flour qualities to breads.

Mike’s farm in Central Queensland has been in the family since 1963. At that time his father moved up from the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. Mike now lives with his wife and two daughters on the farm which is outside Springsure.

Rob, Theodore, Qld

About 12 years ago Rob came into organics from cotton farming and hasn’t looked back. Like most on the land he grew up working on his parents farm, and it was his contacts in the farming world that lead him to try his hand at organics.He manages the Kialla farm outside Theodore in Central Qld as well as share-farming near Dalby. He grows many crops including millet, wheat, sorghum, Kamut™ and chickpeas.One of his main focuses, as an organic farmer, is on the technology available to replace the conventional farming methods such as fertiliser for artificially boosting soil, and chemical sprays to kill weeds.

Arzu says: When there’s an abundance of lemons, make doughnuts! This is my standard donut recipe, and I’ve just added a seasonal variation. The lemon juice and poppy seeds are quite refreshing actually and make these more like a muffin. You’ll need a baking doughnut tray. Makes 12 doughnuts.

Chocolate Fruit Cake

What you’ll need

Kialla Pure Foods Organic Cake Flour

200g butter (or use an alternative like coconut oil)

200g soft brown muscovado sugar or organic rapadura

200ml organic eggs (approx 4 large eggs)

200gms Kialla Organic Cake Flour (or Kialla’s Non Gluten Grain Flour)

40g organic dutched cocoa powder (eg: Organic Times Cocoa)

600g organic mixed dried fruits (eg: raisins, sultanas and prunes or your favourite medley. You can also add more or less fruit )

2 level tsp baking powder

70g organic almond meal

1 1/2 tsp mixed spice 3 tsp black treacle

200ml alcohol (optional) or fruit juice

125g organic apple sauce or 1 medium sized freshly grated apple

zest of 2 large organic oranges and one lemon

Ingredients

Day before: cut up your dried fruits with some kitchen scissors until they are all about the size of a sultana. Put fruit in a bowl with juice or alcohol and toss to coat the fruit. Leave covered (stirring from time to time so the fruit soaks evenly). Prepare a 20cm/8” round/square deep cake tin. Cut out 4 circles/squares of baking paper/parchment and a collar of paper to line the sides of the tin. Make the collar at least 2cm higher than the edge of the tin. Find some brown paper or thin cardboard to line the outside of tins. Line the tin with 2 paper circles and the paper collar for the sides. Use a little butter or oil to help stick the paper to the sides of the tin.On the day 1. zest the oranges and lemons & grate the apple if using. Strain off excess juice from fruits. Set aside to brush cake when it comes out of the oven. 2. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, spices, baking powder and cocoa a few times to ensure they’re well mixed and there are no lumps. 3. Cream the softened butter, sugar and treacle together in a large bowl with a wooden spoon or spatula. (For those using oil, you won’t be able to achieve a creaming effect. Just beat your ingredients so they are thoroughly combined). 4. Fold in the room temperature eggs, one at a time until all combined. 5. Add the sifted almond meal and fold in. 6. Fold in the sifted flour mix. You want to do this gently but thoroughly only until you can’t see any flour. 7. Loosen mix with some of the apple sauce. Then add the drained fruits & grated apple, or fruits & remainder of apple sauce. Fold to combine. 8. Put mix in prepared tin. Cover top of cake with 2 paper circles. Wrap the outside of the tin in the cardboard or brown paper, tying it with kitchen string. Make sure the cardboard “wall” is higher than your tin. 9. Place in middle of the oven to bake for at least 1 ½ hours. Bake at approx 140˚C – the cake is cooked when the smell fills the kitchen. 10. Allow the cake to cool in tin. Decorate with dried fruits and nuts or frosted fresh fruits.

TRACK IT! Peter, Coombah, NSWIn the 1980s Peter moved up from the Eyre Peninsula where his family had been sheep farming. Mostly he runs sheep on his property, however every decade or so there is enough rain up north to fill the lakes and provide fertile ground for cropping. Peter grows a variety of crops for Kialla including spelt, wheat, and oats in a very barren part of NSW, the Menindee lakes, south of Broken Hill. Cake flour is made from soft wheat, which means that it has lower protein levels than the kind of wheat bread-makers prefer.

Rhubarb & Crabapple tart with Rosemary Crust

What you’ll need

Kialla Pure Foods Organic Unbleached Plain Flour

Filling

A large bunch of fresh rhubarb

225g (8oz)) caster sugar

A small jar of homemade crab apple jelly or a jar of conserve that pairs with rhubarb. Or use brown or raw sugar to sweeten the rhubarb – the level of sweetness will depend on your own preferences.

pastry crust:250g of chilled organic butter, cut into cubes roughly the same size

500g of Kialla Organic Plain Flour

One large egg (separate yolk and white)

100g of caster sugar

enough soft tips (new growth) from a rosemary bush to cover the palm of your hand. Remove any woody stems and cut the tips up finely with your kitchen scissors.

Ingredients

Make the filling ahead of time so it’s completely cool before filling the tart shell. Use a loose-bottom rectangular tart tin if you have one.

Prepare the rhubarb in two ways: 1. gently poach or stew to create a compote filling, and 2. roast batons of rhubarb to lay on top of the compote to form a pattern. Add crab apple jelly/conserve to poached rhubarb while still warm for the additional flavour notes and sweetness. For the roasted rhubarb, cut sufficient rhubarb stems as equal-sized batons to line the surface of the tart. Place in a baking dish and sprinkle with a small amount of brown sugar and some fresh rosemary sprigs. Bake until tender but intact, at 175ºC.

To make the pastry: Pour flour, rosemary and sugar into a large bowl. Add butter cubes and gradually crumble butter into flour with finger tips until all are evenly combined and the mixture looks like sand with specks of green. Then add egg yolk through with fingers and bring the mixture together into a ball with all ingredients combined. Alternatively, you can put flour & sugar into a food processor and ‘pulse’ to a sand consistency. Then add egg yolk and ‘pulse’ again. Now add rosemary and ‘pulse’ until the pastry comes together into a ball.

If the pastry is a little dry and crumbling, add a teaspoon of iced water and mix again. Roll pastry out on a large piece of cling film. Fold cling film over it and wrap well. Refrigerate at least 30 mins. Then line tart tin with the pastry and bake blind for 25 mins at 185ºC. Remove baking beans and return to oven for 10mins, or until tart is golden brown (best for a more complex and satisfying flavour).

To finish your tart: When pastry case is cool, fill with the cool, poached rhubarb sweetened with the jelly. Line the surface with the batons of roasted rhubarb. Take the egg white, add about a teaspoon of cold water to thin it, and mix well with a teaspoon. Gently dip some crabapple blossoms or edible flowers into the egg white, shake off any excess, sprinkle with caster sugar. Shake off excess sugar and allowto air dry a few minutes. Scatter the blossoms across your tart. Finally, finish with a light dusting of icing sugar around the tart’s crust.

Talbot, Yuleba, Qld

Talbot’s family has been farming in the Yuleba area for about 100 years. Back then everything was ‘organic’ in the sense that we understand it today. Returning to the family farm about 8 years ago, Talbot joined his father Alfred, and they began to farm organic wheat on areas where previously they’d run cattle. As crops hadn’t been grown in these areas before there was good nutrition in the soil. While Talbot’s farm is large in terms of hectares, the climate and soils are different out on the Western Downs. This means he will get a lower yield per hectare than other farmers closer to the coast. He’s proud of his family achievements, he hopes they will be farming the area for another hundred years.

Apple Berry Crumble with Coconut

What you’ll need

Kialla Pure Foods Organic Rolled Oats

+ Organic Spelt Flour

Filling: 4–6 apples (peeled, cored, and cut in small pieces)

2 cups berries of choice (frozen or fresh)

½ cup honey, coconut syrup, or maple syrup

¼ cup (60ml) coconut milk or apple juice

1 tsp vanilla (optional)

Crumble Topping: 2 cups Kialla Organic Oats

½ cup (75g) Kialla Organic Spelt Flour

1 cup (120g) coarsely chopped walnuts (or other nuts or seeds)

1 cup (80g) shredded or desiccated coconut

3 tbsp melted coconut oil, ghee, or butter

½ cup coconut milk

½ cup honey, agave, or maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla (optional)

¼ tsp sea salt (to taste).

Ingredients

Filling: 1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF/180ºC and prepare a medium to large baking dish or 6–12 ramekins (depending on their size) by generously rubbing with coconut oil, ghee, or butter. You can also skip the oil and just line the baking dish with baking paper for easy clean-up.

2. In a large bowl, lightly mix all the filling ingredients together. Check for sweetness and add a little more if desired. Then pour into the prepared baking dish or ramekins and set aside while making the crumble topping

Crumble Topping: 1. Place all the crumble ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Then evenly spoon (or use your hands) the crumble over the fruit mixture.

2. Loosely cover the crumble with baking paper and place in the oven. Bake, covered, for about 15 minutes, then uncover and continue baking for about 15 minutes longer.

3. Remove from oven and cool a little before serving. It’s great served warm with ice cream, non-dairy ice cream, sweetened cream, or yoghurt. It’s also wonderful served for breakfast with fresh fruit, berries, and yoghurt.

The crumble will keep for 3–4 days refrigerated.

Ann-Britt, FInlandSeveral years ago, after a very dry season, organic Australian oats were in very short supply. We located oats in Finland and quickly discovered that the quality of them was second to none. Ann-Britt is a fourth generation oat farmer and the farm has been in her family for over 200 years. The oats aren’t planted until April or May when the ground has warmed up a bit. The oat growers in Finland harvest their oats at around 25% moisture so they get the crop off before there is too much rain, which tends to happen in September. Oats then need to be dried down in the farmer’s own drying facility. This sort of set up is very uncommon in Australia.

Pernille’s Chocolate and Rye Cupcakes

What you’ll need

Kialla Pure Foods Organic Rye Flour

+ Organic Unbleached Plain Flour

6 eggs

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup Kialla Organic Plain flour

1/2 cup Kialla Wholegrain Rye flour

1 tablespoon cocoa

125 g melted butter

Rye, FinlandWe believe in supporting and encouraging our Aussie farmers through all the varied seasonal conditions that Australian weather delivers. However, sadly for the farmers, sometimes crops fail (too little rain, too much rain, too much frost – it’s tough farming grains, which are very vulnerable to seasonal surprises). When there are shortages for us, there are shortages for all Australian grain suppliers. This means much competition amongst grain millers to buy what organic Aussie grains we can. Some years we have to import rye from Finland, due to organic rye shortages in Australia.

Preheat oven to 200°C.

Separate the eggs and whip the egg whites stiff with an electric mixer.

Add the sugar gradually and continue beating until the sugar is dissolved.

Then mix the egg yolks and melted butter in the battler.

Sieve the flour and cocoa over the batter and fold it in very gently so you do not deflate the battler.

Spoon mixture into cupcake liners until each case is one third full.

Bake for 15-20 minutes.

Geoff, Cecil Plains, Qld

Geoff initially went into organic farming after seeing the marked difference in price farmers received for specialty organic grains. However he was also concerned about the quantity of chemicals he had to put on his conventional crops. Geoff is very interested in the future prospects for organics in Australia and likes to work with and encourage other farmers to become organically certified. He sees organic farming as a form of ‘social good’: “a lot of health issues are coming back to the grains without the nutrients... It intrigues me to see if I can help society in a better way.”

Myles & Angus, Weengallon, Qld

Myles and his son Angus farm 810 hectares near the locale of Weengallon, east of the Nindigully Pub. While it still appears on the map, Weengallon itself no longer even has the store that earned it’s status on the map!Moving to their current property around 5 years ago, Myles initially decided to convert to organic because of the demand for organic beef cattle. Having come from a background of cropping (he grew up on a farm near Moonie) he thought it would be worthwhile to have a go at farming the land as well as raising livestock.

Our mum Rob Kennedy grew up on these biscuits. They were also a favourite during our childhood. We suspect they are named after Princess Marina of Greece who married Prince George (an uncle of Queen Elizabeth II) in a royal wedding extravaganza in 1934. We’ve tweaked the original icing for a lemony zing. Makes about 20 biscuits as long as no one tucks into them before you ice them!

Phil, Westmar, Qld

Phil grows wheat and mung beans for Kialla on a 200 hectare farm east of St George. He share farms his father-in-law’s organically certified property. Share farming means that the farmer pays a portion of his proceeds as ‘rent’ to the owner of the property. In order to ensure the best yields, Phil has been trialling various methods of improving his soil’s fertility and microbe content. His aim is to build his soil microbial activity over time to ensure more nutrients are available to the plants.

Tips

Constance says: Good shortbread must be made of the finest ingredients, fresh butter, castor sugar, and white flour. Traditionally shortbread is decorated with candied peel and almonds. It needs lightness of hand and nice judgement, for if the ingredients are worked too much together the result is tough and chewy, instead of being short and melt-in-the-mouth.

Kialla matriarch Rob Kennedy has many years of country cooking behind her, including stints catering for shearing teams and stockmen. Having arrived in outback Qld as a young bride in the 1960s when refrigerators ran on kerosene and carbide lights substituted for electricity, Rob very quickly learnt how to cook with a minimum of ingredients. Nowadays she lives a much more comfortable life in ‘the big smoke’! These classic crunchy Anzac biscuits are a Kennedy family favourite.

TRACK IT! Ann-Britt, FInlandSeveral years ago, after a very dry season, organic Australian oats were in very short supply. We located oats in Finland and quickly discovered that the quality of them was second to none. Ann-Britt is a fourth generation oat farmer and the farm has been in her family for over 200 years. The oats aren’t planted until April or May when the ground has warmed up a bit. The oat growers in Finland harvest their oats at around 25% moisture so they get the crop off before there is too much rain, which tends to happen in September. Oats then need to be dried down in the farmer’s own drying facility. This sort of set up is very uncommon in Australia.

Peter, Coombah, NSW

Peter grows a variety of crops for Kialla including spelt, wheat, and oats in a very barren part of NSW, the Menindee lakes, south of Broken Hill. In the image at left you can see how dry it is and the reason he can grow anything is due to a once-a-decade seasonal phenomenon that brings large amounts of water down the Darling River so that the lakes spring into life. As the waters evaporate Peter takes advantage of the moist soil along the edges to grow crops. It’s easy to grow organically in this region because the flooding provides nutrients to the soil while simultaneously choking out the weeds.

Rob, Theodore, Qld

Like most on the land Rob grew up working on his parents farm, and it was his contacts in the farming world that lead him to try his hand at organics. He grows millet, wheat, maize and Kamut™ for Kialla both on the Kialla farm outside Theodore in Central Qld, as well as his share-farm near Dalby. Rob loves driving and thinks nothing of the 5 hour commute between the 2 farms. He ‘s also a bit of an organic ‘grapevine’ as he is constantly sharing his experience and acquired knowledge amongst the many organic farmers he’s connected to. Farming organically can be challenging so this kind of sharing of expertise is invaluable in the industry.

Sheridan says: These chocolate muffins are deliberately not so sweet. You may want to add more sugar if you feel inclined. I use various flours depending on what’s in the cupboard. This recipe uses spelt and millet. I haven’t tried them with other non-gluten flours, but it’s a very forgiving recipe (my favourite kind).

Cathy Kaufman’s book Cooking in Ancient Civilisations delves into what the ancients ate and how they cooked it, with recipes provided, even if these may be somewhat speculative. We were intrigued by the Palace Cake found in the records of Ur, a city state in Ancient Mesopotamia. Some of the first cereal grasses were cultivated around the “Fertile Crescent” so we decided to try our hand at making this ancient cake.

Palace Cake

What you’ll need

Kialla Pure Foods Organic Barley Flour

3 cups dates, finely chopped

1/3 cup raisins

2 teaspoons ground fennel or aniseed

1/3 cup ricotta, quark or cottage cheese

1 cup butter, melted and at room temperature

2 eggs, beaten together, at room temperature

2/3 cup milk, at room temperature

1 1/2 cups Kialla organic barley flour

Ingredients

Preheat the oven to160ºC. Combine the dates, raisins, and the spice and scatter in a 25cm springform cake pan.

If using cottage cheese, press it through a strainer to break up the curds. If using a creamy cheese there’s no need for this step.

Combine the cheese with the melted butter, eggs, and milk and slowly stir into the flour, moistening thoroughly to make a batter.

Pour the batter over the dried fruits and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean.

Serve while still warm with a dollop of cream.

Method

33

TRACK IT!

The original recipe was inferred from Ur palace records and reproduced in Cathy Kaufman’s book on cooking in ancient times. She notes that you can be authentic and line the pan with grape leaves to prevent the dried fruits sticking. Failing the availability of grape leaves, you can’t go past baking paper. This cake would work quite well with most types of dried fruits. It’s quite simple to make and there’s no sugar except for what the dates provide. We’re guessing this is because there was no sugar cane in ancient Mesopotamia...

Bruce, Roma, Qld

Bruce, his wife and young children live some 60km outside of Roma. Barley is one of the crops Bruce grows for Kialla. They’ve been farming organically for about a decade and he cites becoming a father and starting to think about the health of his young family as the turning point that had him convert to organics. Many farmers are aware of the impacts of chemicals on their own health and want a better future for their families. Bruce considers that chemical farming methods have their ‘use-by-date’ and he says, ‘ for my children – and beyond – I hope that organics is certainly the way for them... I think they’ll benefit out of it well into the future’.

Steve’s father came back from the UK infused with enthusiasm about ‘natural’ and ‘alternative’ growing methods. While he was ahead of his time, many of his farming peers thought he was completely out-of-touch and still living in the dark ages before the “green revolution”. Nonetheless his persistence helped to build organics in Australia from being a “crazy fringe idea” to the important industry it is today.

Why imported?

We started importing oats from Northern Europe some years ago due to drought and a domestic shortage of supply. We have since discovered that the oats from Northern Europe are the best we can source because of their unique growing conditions. The long hours of daylight in the higher latitudes of Northern Europe during summer mean that the oats grow day and night. In addition to the long daylight, the maximum summer temperatures rarely go above 25 degrees. This combination of unique light and long growing days results in the best quality oats in the world.

TRACK IT! Geoff, Cecil Plains, QldGeoff likes to grow a variety of different crops to keep himself interested. He grows chickpeas which we use in our besan flour. This type of chickpea is called “desi” or brown chickpea and is smaller than the more common chickpea also know as garbanzo beans. This crop is a useful way for organic farmers to return nitrogen to the soil, and it will often be alternated with other crops like maize or wheat . Geoff also uses compost to return nutrients to the soil and he is very aware that soil quality affects not only his yield but also the nutritional qualities of his crops.

Polenta Uppamma

What you’ll need

Kialla Pure Foods Organic Polenta

2 tbsp ghee, or coconut/extra virgin olive oil (vegan)

1 tsp mustard seeds

1 small (½ large) red onion, finely sliced

1 stem curry leaves (optional)

½ tsp cumin seeds

½ tsp turmeric powder

½ tsp chilli flakes

1 cup Kialla Organic Polenta

4 cups freshly boiled water

sea salt, to taste

Ingredients

In a medium-sized, heavy-based pot, heat the oil/ghee. Add the mustard seeds, and turn the heat to medium-high. Once the seeds start to pop, turn down the heat to medium and add the onion, cumin seeds and curry leaves.Stir continually for up to five minutes, or until the onions caramelise. Add turmeric and chilli, and pan fry for another few seconds. Then pour in the polenta, and toast for a couple of minutes over gentle heat. Add the freshly boiled water, and allow the polenta to simmer gently. Stir often so the polenta doesn’t stick to the pan and become lumpy.After about 10 minutes, stir in a teaspoon of salt. Allow 20–30 mins for the polenta to cook – you want it soft and creamy, not gritty. Taste to check.Once the polenta is done, taste and add more salt if you wish.Serve with dhal or any other type of curry that takes your fancy.

VariationsTo eat uppuma for breakfast (as a savoury porridge), you can add a small zucchini and carrot (both grated finely), and a ¼ cup of frozen green peas to the step where you toast the polenta (before adding the water). Serve it with one or two boiled/poached/fried eggs.

Lesh says: Uppuma is a traditional South Indian dish that’s typically made with semolina (suji). It can be made with or without vegetables, depending on one’s preferences, and is usually eaten for breakfast or as a snack.Mum used to make uppuma for us as a snack with peas and grated carrot during my school years.

Steve, Harrisville, Qld

Steve farms 300 hectares in the lush Lockyer Valley between Brisbane and the Great Dividing Range. And while this farm may seem small in comparison to some of the farmers that grow for Kialla, the small size is more than compensated for by the fertility of the soil. Maize is one of his favourite crops to grow. It’s always interspersed with a nitrogen crop like cow peas as it is a very nutritionally demanding plant.

Banh Xeo (Vietnamese Crispy Crepe)

What you’ll need

Kialla Pure Foods Organic White Rice Flour + Organic Mung Beans

Crepes: 1 cup Kialla Organic Rice Flour

2.5 cups water (can substitute some of this liquid for coconut milk or coconut water, but this may result in a less crispy crepe)

I teaspoon turmeric (ground or powder)

3-5 spring onions, chopped, including green part

Pinch of salt

Filling: Small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped

200g school prawns, heads removed (or peeled green prawns)

200g pork belly, diced to same size as prawns

Sprouted mung beans (soak mung beans for 24 hours til they just open)

Nuoc cham: 1 part fish sauce

1/2 part palm sugar

3 parts water

1/4 part white vinegar, or lime or lemon juice

I clove garlic

Fresh chopped red or green chillies to taste

Small amount shredded carrot, daikon radish, green papaya and/or green mango

Fresh ingredients to accompany the dish: 6-10 whole lettuce leaves (iceberg, cos or butter lettuce)

A mix of Vietnamese salad herbs: mint, Vietnamese mint, purple perilla, fish mint, betel leaves

Ingredients

Whisk crepe ingredients together in a bowl and allow to sit for 30 minutes (for the rice flour to absorb liquid) while you prepare the filling.

Heat pan with a vegetable oil, sauté onions for a minute or two, then add garlic & pork. Sauté another two minutes. Lastly add prawns and cook until they change colour. Season with salt, pepper and set aside.

Heat a large flat cast iron or nonstick pan (I use a tava for making dhosas bought from most Indian grocery stores) until very hot. Add a tbsn of oil. Stir the crepe mixture with ladle until it is an even consistency then pour in a ladleful. Tilt the pan if needed so the crepe is evenly thin and round. Put pork and prawn mixture and bean sprouts on one half of crepe. Cook on high heat until crispy (at least 5 minutes) then fold over. Slide folded crepe onto plate. Best eaten with your hands - cut into sections, wrap with lettuce and herbs and dip into nuoc cham.

When Australian organic rice farmers have a dry season, as they did in the last year, we have to import rice. Our favourite suppliers are in Thailand where they grow organic rice in a farmer co-operative in flat fields of a valley in a beautiful mountainous region, near Wiang Chai, Chiang Rai. Unlike in Australia, where our farming is very automated with tractors and harvesters, they still plant the rice by hand, in a way that they have done for hundreds of years. This ancient tradition of rice growing ensures that knowledge on how to farm without chemicals is handed down through many generations of experience.

Geoff can remember what it was like to farm prior to using all these chemicals, many of which have only been introduced over the last 50 to 60 years. This gives him some advantage, even if it’s only a familiarity with the mentality required to farm chemical free. He grows a variety of crops for Kialla, including purple wheat, maize, popcorn and chickpeas. The NGGF flour includes his maize.

TRACK IT! Rob, Theodore, Qld

About 12 years ago Rob came into organics from cotton farming and hasn’t looked back. He manages the Kialla farm outside Theodore in Central Qld as well as share-farming near Dalby. It’s on this share farm that he grows sorghum, a component of the NGGF flour. And on the irrigated farm at Theodore he grows maize which requires a lot of moisture in the soil. One of his main focuses, as an organic farmer, is on the technology available to replace the conventional farming methods such as fertiliser for artificially boosting soil, and chemical sprays to kill weeds.

TRACK IT! Mike, Springsure, Qld

Mike grows a variety of crops for Kialla, including sorghum. His farm in Central Queensland has been in the family since 1963. Maize, sorghum and sunflowers are all summer crops planted in January. Mike will make the decision about what to plant, and whether to plant anything at all, depending on whether he’s had any summer rain. It will take maize about four months to grow, and about five months for the sorghum.

BuckwheatOrganic Buckwheat Kernels

Produced by removing (hulling) the black outer husk of the grain to reveal the inner kernel (groat).

Home milling or baking.

Organic Buckwheat Flour

Produced by milling the whole buckwheat grain and sieving off some of the outer husk. Then both the inner kernel (groat) and remaining husk is milled into flour. Must be kept refrigerated or frozen to retain its freshness.

Commonly used for pancakes, crepes, bilinis and biscuits and pasta products. For yeast-raised bread it must be mixed with other gluten-rich flours. Can be used in baked goods to give extra nutrition and flavour.

Our approach to processing Non-Gluten grains

Kialla mills a wide variety of Non-Gluten grains. While we take the utmost care to keep these grains Non-Gluten there is a possibility of very low level contamination (less than 20 parts per million) due to the fact we also mill wheat flour onsite. We have dedicated Non-Gluten milling lines and a specific clean down procedure, as well as running tests which are accurate to 10 parts per million. The Coeliac Society indicates that products under 20ppm are suitable for consumption by people with coeliac issues.

Matcha Coconut Pancakes, Raspberries & Maple Syrup

What you’ll need

Kialla Pure Foods Organic Pancake Mix Original

1 x Kialla Original pancake Mix

6 teaspoons Macha powder

550 ml coconut milk

2 tablespoons oil

1 container of Raspberries (200g)

Maple Syrup to pass around

100 ml pack of thickened coconut cream (chilled) mixed with 1 teaspoon of sugar ( optional)

Almond Crunch

1 cup of sliced almonds

2 Tablespoons of sesame seeds

1/2 teaspoon oil

1 teaspoon sugar like demerara or large grained sugar

Ingredients

Make the almond crunch first, by putting the Almonds and sesame seeds into a non- stick pan with a splash of oil. Toss or stir till light brown. Pour onto a tray or plate and immediately sprinkle with sugar. The sugar will melt and make a very nice crunchy simple praline.

Open the pancake shaker bottle and add the Matcha powder. Shake very well. Add ¾ of the coconut milk and shake well. Add the remaining coconut milk and shake till well combined.

Heat a non -stick frypan. Grease the moulds very well by rubbing the insides with oil. Round or square or gingerbread man shape it doesn’t matter. Add a very small amount of oil to the pan and fill the moulds to ¾ full. Turn down the stove to very low and add a fitted lid. Cook for 4 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook a further 2-3 minutes.

Run a knife around the interior of the mould and remove. Repeat.

Serve the Matcha pancakes with Raspberries, coconut cream and maple syrup. Sprinkle with nuts.

Method

Geoff, Cecil Plains, QldSoil nutrition is an essential science for organic farmers who aren’t able to use the band-aid industrial solutions of conventional farming. Geoff can remember what it was like to farm prior to using all these chemicals, many of which have only been introduced over the last 50 to 60 years. This gives him some advantage, even if it’s only a familiarity with the mentality required to farm chemical free. He grows a variety of crops for Kialla, including purple wheat, maize, popcorn and chickpeas. You’ll find some of his wheat in our pancake mix.

Phil, Westmar, QldPhil grows wheat and mung beans for Kialla on a 200 hectare farm east of St George. He share farms his father-in-law’s organically certified property. Share farming means that the farmer pays a portion of his proceeds as ‘rent’ to the owner of the property. In order to ensure the best yields, Phil has been trialling various methods of improving his soil’s fertility and microbe content. His aim is to build his soil microbial activity over time to ensure more nutrients are available to the plants.

Buckwheat Dumplings

What you’ll need

Kialla Pure Foods Organic Buckwheat Pancake Mix

Dumplings

1 bottle of Kialla Buckwheat Pancake Mix

½ cup coconut water (from the bottom of the coconut cream can) topped up with ½ cup of milk or water if very thick. 250 ml / 1 cup in total

Filling

8 Tablespoons desiccated coconut

8 Tablespoons palm sugar (or coconut sugar)

8 teaspoons coconut cream

Sauce

¼ cup brown sugar-(the brown colour makes the best sauce colour wise)

2 tablespoons water

½ cup thick coconut cream

Ingredients

You will need a steamer and lid (any kind), cupcake papers, a saucepan.

This recipe uses a can of coconut cream. It is spread through the entire recipe in the dough, filling and sauce:1 can = 400 ml/ 13.5 oz

Put the brown sugar and water into a small pot and simmer till melted and combined without reducing too much (about 1 minute). Add the coconut cream and simmer several minutes till just starting to reduce and bubble. Reduce a little more for a very thick sauce. This will make about a ½ cup ( I like to double- but that’s just me). Set aside in a jug.

Now you are ready to cook. Put the steamer on and have everything ready for when you dumplings are done.

Pour buckwheat pancake mix into a bowl & add the coconut milk / water mixture. ¾ first then the rest when the first lot is absorbed.

Mix with your hands till just combined forming a sticky dough, that stays together when pushed into a ball. Set aside. Clean hands and lay down a piece of greaseproof paper or a work surface.

Make the dough into 6-8 balls, then flatten each one into a rough circle. Fill with a spoon of coconut mixture. Then with damp hands fold the mixture over itself and join together forming a ball with the filling inside. Pop into a cupcake wrapper. When they are all done put 3-4 into a steamer and steam for 8-10 minutes no more. Take off the steamer and remove the wrappers

Serve them hot with the caramel sauce and extra coconut cream

Method

Roy and family, Boodua, QldRoy and family grow buckwheat for Kialla - the picture on the left shows a field of buckwheat. The original farm started out as a dairy and diversified over to poultry, due to Roy’s mother’s love of chickens. Their children Roxanne, Tracey and Damien (and their families) then further expanded the business, purchasing neighbouring farms and establishing these farms as certified organic. Kialla’s sister company Aus Organics provides chicken feed for the egg-laying hens. The chickens’ manure is used as compost on the crops. The crops then end up back at Kialla creating a closed cycle of organic inputs and outputs.
